Mesa Cortina Trailhead: Willow Falls

Summit County - Eagle County - Clear Creek County

Willow Falls are located west of Silverthorne, CO in the Eagles Nest Wilderness Area. South Willow Creek is born from the slopes connecting Eccles Pass and Red Buffalo Pass, flowing east and dropping precipitously through a narrow gap between Buffalo Mountain's steep north flank, and Red Peak's lengthy east ridge. The Mesa Cortina and Gore Range trails offer terrestrial and ecological diversity, 3-4 season accessibility and multi-sport utility. Mild grades and good trail conditions are well suited for families, backpackers, runners and winter recreation.
